From 26932566a42d46aee7e5d526cb34fba9380cad10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick McHardy Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2007 23:16:40 -0800 Subject: [NETLINK]: Don't BUG on undersized allocations Currently netlink users BUG when the allocated skb for an event notification is undersized. While this is certainly a kernel bug, its not critical and crashing the kernel is too drastic, especially when considering that these errors have appeared multiple times in the past and it BUGs even if no listeners are present. This patch replaces BUG by WARN_ON and changes the notification functions to inform potential listeners of undersized allocations using a unique error code (EMSGSIZE).
